SHARING “ISOL ACTION” MODEL
Focus GroupManchester, 14th – 16th February 2008
Venue: Manchester Digital Development Agency (MDDA)

Focus Group (WP1) - Aims
Introducing “ISOL ACTION” (1) Model
Session A
Session B
Preparing the Preliminary Field Analysis to adapt the prototype
(1) Improving and Sharing Opportunities for Learning

Session A
Introducing “ISOL ACTION” Model
4
Isol Action - Rationale
Key concept 1 - Peripheral areas
Islands and territorial contexts geographically isolated and peripheral to information and decision-making centres
The partnership:IT - ITCG “Jacopo del Duca” di Cefalù (Sicily)IT - MCG Manager Consulting Group (Sicily)IT - I.I.S. Isa Conti Eller Vainecher (Lipari island)IT - Istituto Statale Omnicomprensivo di Istruzione Secondaria (Pantelleria island)IT - Direzione Scolastica Regionale della Sicilia (Sicily)IT - Ce.Ri.S. Centro Ricerche Sociali (Rome)FR - Boutique de Gestion of Guadeloupe- Pro Gestion Partner (Guadeloupe)FR - Collège Montesoro (Corse)GR - KEK NOMOY KYKΛAΔΩN (Cyclades islands)PT - Direcção Regional de Formação Profissional da Madeira (Madeira island)PT - SOFATI – Sociedade de Formação e Aplicações Técnicas de Informática (Madeira island)

Isol Action - Rationale
Key concept 2 - Competitiveness of Human Resources in Peripheral areas
Weaknesses can be overcome by means of:
● Support (EU funds)
● Innovation (anticipation)
● Physical and cultural Mobility
● Sharing of ideas/alliances (peer to peer)
6
Isol Action - Rationale
Key concept 3 - From best practices you can learn 1/2
To identify best practices (research): “Which they were” and “What they have done”: ●Selecting projects among the ones implemented within different EU Programmes (Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius, Grundtvig, Interreg, Equal).
●Selecting projects considering1.Project pertinence with respect to objectives indicated by the Programme within which it has been realised2.Project relevance with respect to global national/regional strategies and policies3.Level of coherence of the actions planned with respect to project general and specific aims4. Importance and representativeness of the partnership5.Projects that have been included in Transnational thematic workshops, at European, national level

Isol Action - Rationale
Key concept 3 - From best practices you can learn 2/2
To “short-circuit” best practices (focus group):
● reporting the experience
● describing the competencies
- what skills/competencies critical (relevant) for success?
- what difficulties (lacking of competencies, experience,
knowledge) met?
during project planning and implementing
8
From competencies...to courseware
1st Identification of Training needs,
Learning areas and Contents
Identification of competencies in EU
project planning and implementing
What competencies / knowledge:- can be transferred in self-learning modalities?- are the most critical and lacking?
Selection of:Competencies/knowledge
Contents
Decision on: structure and contents of the courseware
Development of didactic contents
External evaluation
Production of PROTOTYPE (Courseware)
The process

From “ISOL ACTION” to “OUT IN”
ISOL ACTION OUT IN
MODEL > THEORY PRODUCT > PRACTICE
GENERAL COMPETENCIES PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE & TECHNICAL ABILITES (TECHNICALITIES)
EU PROJECT PLANNING & IMPLEMENTING
EU MOBILITY PROJECT PLANNING taking into account that project sustainability largely depends on a sound planning (implications of planning for implementation)
CONTENTS UNDERSTANDING LEARNING (learning outcomes – ability to do something as a result of a learning activity)
SELF-LEARNING SELF-LEARNING + COACHING
GENERAL TESTSaimed at verifying that a text has been understood(E.g.: “What is a Gantt?”)
TESTS FOR LEARNING ASSESSMENTaimed at verifying exhaustiveness of learning and ability to put into practice what has been learnt(E.g.: “Create a Gantt”)
BILINGUAL (IT, EN) MULTILINGUAL (IT, EN, GR, LV)
10
From “ISOL ACTION” to “OUT IN”: what competencies?
General competencies in EU Project planning & implementing
General and Distinctive competencies in EU Mobility projects planning
ISOL ACTION
OUT IN
Mobility - General (Example)How to prepare a Plan to validate the training and skills acquired during a placementMobility - Distinctive (Example) How to write an announcement for the selection of participants within EU funded projects

From “ISOL ACTION” to “OUT IN”: the Courseware
ISOL ACTION MODULES
(Archive)
Some Modules will be included in OUT IN
Some Modules will be revised, adapted
and included in OUT IN
Some new Modules will have to be developed
12
Session A
Some decisions to take concerning OUT IN
13
Some strategic decisions to take....
Which competencies to focus on for adapting the Prototype? All critical Most critical
How to carry out the field analysis foreseen in WP2? Focus Group Questionnaires (by mail) Face to face interviews
Assisted Phone interviews (1: sending questionnaires, 2: realising interviews)
What organisations (contexts) will be involved in Field analysis (WP2), Experimentation (WP4) and Transfer (WP6)?
Typology Level of experience in Mobility actions
